Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi said he extended his greetings and gratitude to all the brave BSF personnel who protect the borders, the land, and the people of India.

BSF was formed in 1965 in order to protect the nation's border. Prior to the formation of the BSF, the border security was overseen by the State Armed Police Battalion.

Following the attack by Pakistan on Sardar Post, Chhar Bet and Beria Bet in Kutch on April 1965, the Central government, based on the recommendation of the Committee of Secretaries, established the BSF.

While the greetings are appreciated, we must also focus on improving the living conditions, equipment, and timely promotions for these personnel. Words are nice, but concrete support is better. They deserve the best resources.

My cousin serves in the BSF in Rajasthan. The stories he tells... the heat, the isolation. Yet, their spirit is unbreakable. Proud of each and every one of them. Happy Raising Day!

Reading about the BSF's history formed after the 1965 conflicts is fascinating. A professional, dedicated border force is crucial for any nation's sovereignty. India is lucky to have them.

The mention of their humanitarian spirit is so true. We often see news of BSF soldiers helping villagers near the border, providing medical aid, or rescuing people. True heroes in every sense.
